Would not make this again.
I love cream cheese everything but this wasn't a good use of it. Butter spritz cookies are far better.2 stars

This is nothing more than flavored flour dust. Nothing to hold it together. Can\\\'t pack it into a press. Waste of time!1 star

Very simple recipe. The 1.5 ounces of cream cheese is not a typo...it's JUST enough to give the cookies a bit of a flavor and a soft texture. This works very well with my cookie press, no problems.5 stars
